president’s message
Dear Friend,
Last year, the youngest Baby Boomers – those born
between 1946 and 1964 – turned 50, a harbinger of
things to come.
Consider that in 1973, when a team of visionary
volunteers founded the Jewish Council for Aging®,
about 1 in 10 Americans was age 65 or older. Today,
the proportion is 1 in 7. By 2030, it will be 1 in 5.
The D.C. region is no exception to these trends.
For instance, in Montgomery County, where JCA
is headquartered, the number of residents age 65+
in 2014 was just over 141,000. By 2030, it will top
220,000 as the percentage of those 65 and older rises
from 13.7 percent of the population to 19 percent.
As you read this annual report, which looks at
JCA’s most recent fiscal year “by the numbers,” it is
important to keep these staggering population trends
in mind. As a nation – and in our local communities
and neighborhoods – how are we going to meet the
needs of a graying population?
Clearly, we must keep our eyes on the future,
in an effort to anticipate and respond to the needs of
a growing cadre of older adults. To that end, one of
JCA’s key accomplishments in 2015 was the Board’s
adoption of a strategic plan for 2016-2018, which
you can view at AccessJCA.org/StrategicPlan.
As a nation and a community, we must think and
act strategically and that means that we must invest
in services and infrastructure to serve our aging
population, as well as those who care for elders. Here
at JCA, we will build on what we do well and find
ways to expand proven programs to meet growing
needs. At the same time, we have dedicated ourselves
to finding new solutions, forging new collaborations
and exploring new avenues.
Thank you for enabling us to do so.
With deep appreciation for your continued support,
Sheldon Grosberg
JCA provides access, answers and opportunities for older adults and family caregivers
throughout Greater D.C. When you add up the impact, JCA programs and services
touch the lives of more than 30,000 older adults each year.

program accomplishments
Transportation
For 42 years, JCA has helped local seniors travel throughout
the area. While the needs have grown and evolved, one thing
remains constant: transportation is critical to helping people
grow old with dignity, independence and vitality.
• Our fleet of ElderBuses and team of specially trained
drivers allowed scores of seniors get around. This included
transporting adult day participants to JCA’s Misler Center and
Gorlitz Kensington Club and operating shuttles to five senior
centers in Montgomery County. All told, our ElderBuses
traveled 121,790 miles last year.
• The Connect-A-Ride Transportation Resource Center provided
expert answers and education, with Information and Mobility
Specialists responding to 10,929 inquiries and making 8,633
referrals to help seniors find safe, affordable rides.
• JCA also worked to shape the future of senior transportation.
In December, we launched the third round of Getting All
Around the County, a federally funded project to increase the
engagement of Montgomery County seniors and adults with
disabilities in transportation planning.
• Our volunteer driver programs, NV Rides (which is
administered by the Jewish Community Center of Northern
Virginia) and VillageRides, set the pace in a world where 90
percent of adults wish to stay in their homes as they age.
46,776 passenger trips provided by ElderBuses, a
30% increase over fiscal year 2014
3,124 callers assisted by Connect-A-Ride mobility specialists, a
20% increase over fiscal year 2014
643 rides provided to 187 low-income, disabled seniors by the
Escorted Transportation Project
79 seniors and disabled adults empowered to use public
transportation at RideSmart Travel Training Workshops
2,674 rides for 168 seniors provided by 143 volunteer drivers
through NV Rides
1,264 rides for 98 seniors provided by 107 volunteer drivers
through VillageRides

address the of jobseekers who face a variety of challenges.
• The Senior Community Service Employment Program worked
with 174 seniors from Montgomery and Frederick counties
who were age 55 or older and living at or below 125 percent
of the Federal poverty line. Thanks to the U.S. Department
of Labor, Senior Services America and JCA’s generous friends,
these trainees were compensated at minimum wage while
gaining job skills and performing valuable community service
at 54 local charities and government agencies, including JCA.
• Our 50+ Employment Expo held in Tysons on May 25 gave
654 attendees the opportunity to connect with 34 employers

graduated 305 participants since its founding in 2010 –
provided 30+ hours of intensive, specialized training and
mentoring to professionals age 50+ looking to re-enter
the workforce.
Albert & Helen Misler Adult Day Center
early-stage memory loss at the Samuel Gorlitz Kensington Club
Care, compassion and community – that’s what seniors and
caregivers found at JCA’s Misler Adult Day Center Center and
Kensington Club, both of which are part of our Ruth & Hans
Cahnmann Center for Supportive Services.
• 100 seniors received health monitoring and nursing at the
Misler Center, which is a licensed, State-certified program for
seniors dealing with cognitive or physical challenges (or both,
as they often are). Participant days at Misler increased 16
percent from fiscal year 2014.
• The Gorlitz Kensington Club, our social day program for
older adults with early-stage memory loss, served 44 members
and laid the groundwork for a second program location at
Ingleside at King Farm, an assisted living community in
Rockville, Maryland.
• Our supportive services team facilitated a Caregiver Support
Group for family members and a “Ninth Week Group” for
participants who had previously completed the 8-week EarlyStage Dementia Support Group.
• Thanks to a grant from the Health Care Initiative Foundation,
the Misler Center became a certified Music & Memory
program, with staff trained to use iPods to create customized
playlists for participants.

JCA 42ND ANNUAL REPORT

Program fees charged for computer
training, adult day programs, certain
transportation services and other
services helped make ends meet, yet
we never want such fees to be a barrier
between those who need help and the
help we provide. When fees presented
a hardship, we utilized state and other
public resources when we could and
our own pool of Opportunity Grants
(“scholarships,” donated by generous
friends) when we could not.
More than 500 friends of JCA attended our
2015 Productive Aging Award Dinner!
On April 26, 2015, JCA held it’s 22nd Annual Sylvia Blajwas Productive Aging
Award Dinner. A record crowd joined us in celebrating this year’s honorees,
Alan and Arlene Alda, along with Sylvia Greenberg, recipient of JCA’s 2015
Humanitarian Award.
This was JCA’s most successful dinner to date, and we thank our guests and
event sponsors for their generous support!
The fee revenue we report also
includes honoraria or billings from the
professional consultation we provided
through the National Center for
Productive Aging® (a JCA program) and
rental income from the Nonprofit Village,
a charity that leases from us the top floor
of our 31,000-square-foot headquarters
office. As of June 30, 2015, 18 charities in
addition to JCA had found a home in the
JCA headquarters building.
Compassion Funds provided essential
income. A $68,900 release from these
endowed funds helped to provide
program stability during the year. For
details, see page 13.
Each gift, grant and fee is a building block to
the work we do, and we are proactive about
explaining them. In recognition of our
commitment to transparency, GuideStar, a
national library of charitable information, has
named JCA a Gold Exchange Participant, its
highest designation.

Volunteers are an integral part of the JCA team,
often working side-by-side with staff on the front
lines and behind the scenes to support programs
and events. JCA volunteers teach courses, mentor
jobseekers, tutor children, speak at community
events, provide rides to elderly neighbors, design
new programs – and much more! Our lay leaders
(listed at left) are volunteers, too.
We thank our amazing volunteers for
their support and dedication!
Each year, JCA recognizes an outstanding

JCA is proud to be a
founding member of the
Create a Jewish Legacy
Campaign, a program
created and nurtured by
The Jewish Federation of
Greater Washington and
its United Jewish
Endowment Fund.
12
campaign donors
The Campaign for the 21st Century enabled us to purchase and renovate JCA’s permanent home. Now it sustains that home,
the Ann L. Bronfman Center, as well as our ongoing efforts to pay off (or pay down) its mortgage.
As of June 30, 2015, the Campaign had raised $5,514,636. The list below of beneficent donors continues to grow, as does
the number of donor names that shine in our building’s lobby. Those names welcome clients, volunteers, donors, staff and
guests to our vibrant home – and they affirm for all that ours is a caring community.
